‘Interest in leadership continues to grow, as does research on this complex and fascinating topic. This book provides a much-needed guide to conducting (and deciphering) leadership research. Every student of leadership needs to have this detailed guidebook in his or her reference library.’
– Ronald E. Riggio, Claremont McKenna College, US
‘This is an indispensable volume for all leadership researchers, from beginning students and early career researchers to seasoned veterans in the field. The contents provide a comprehensive treatment of important topics in leadership research, including foundational measurement and design concerns to both quantitative and qualitative analytical approaches. I am sure to refer to it often and recommend it highly.’
– David V. Day, Claremont McKenna College, US
‘This volume fills a critical gap in the leadership literature. The authors have done a tremendous job of tackling a wide variety of topics in leadership research – from facial coding, to behavioral genetics, to biographical methods – and illustrating novel approaches with which to explore them. A valuable resource for everyone (from the brand new scholar to the seasoned researcher) looking to incorporate one or more of the new techniques available. Highly recommended!’
